Repairing iridodialysis by riveting with a double-flanged polypropylene suture
Three patients with iridodialysis were recruited. A 6-0 polypropylene suture was cut to the proper length and flanged by cautery. A long (19.0  mm), ultrathin 30-gauge needle was inserted in the anterior chamber from the sclera around the iris and penetrated in the dialyzed iris, then exited through the cornea on the contralateral side. The flanged polypropylene suture was inserted in the needle from the unflanged side. After the 30-gauge needle was withdrawn, the flanged suture remained, passing the dialyzed iris and sclera.

Bilateral aqueous misdirection following routine cataract surgery in angle closure
Cataract surgery with IOL is increasingly preferred as the first-line management of Primary Angle Closure / Glaucoma (PAC/G) instead of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI), following the endorsement by the recently reported EAGLE study. However, we present two eyes of a 63-year old lady, both of which remained shallow after cataract surgery, with one eye developing high and uncontrolled IOP. Both eyes needed further intervention, the latter eye received surgical treatment as well. (Source: Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery)

Laboratory assessment of the image quality of extended-depth-of-focus intraocular lens models in polychromatic light
Uncorrected chromatic and spherical aberration deteriorate the optical quality of EDoF IOLs highlighting differences between the studied models. Limited tilt and decentration have minimal impact on EDoF lenses ’ performance. (Source: Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery)

Repair of Iridodialysis by Riveting with Double-Flanged Polypropylene Suture
Three patients with iridodialysis were recruited. A 6-0 polypropylene suture was cut to the proper length and flanged by cautery. A long (19 mm) ultra-thin 30G needle was inserted in the anterior chamber from the sclera around the iris and penetrated in the dialyzed iris, then exiting through the cornea on the contralateral side. The flanged polypropylene suture was inserted in the needle from the unflanged side. After the 30G needle was withdrawn, the flanged suture remained, passing the dialyzed iris and sclera.
